    Are there any videos/guides to set up a Usenet for dummies? Asking for a friend of mine.

      Aye matey! In fact, they’re are entire communities right here in the Lemmyverse all about sailing the digital seas!

      Kind of interesting what can be done without the oversight of corporate overlords and monied interests.

        So if I understand this right, I can use something like nzbget as the downloader and eweka to download from/as the indexer. Correct?

        Is there anything else I would need to get/set up?

      Look up “trash guides” for the *arr programs. I use Sabnzbd, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Recyclarr, Jellyseerr, and Jellyfin. All in docker containers on their own vlan. Lemme know if you need any help.

        Thanks for the software tips! I think this plus what I’ve read is a great start!

          I forgot to add, when I transitioned into usenet, the most confusing part was that you need to find 2 separate services. From what I understand 1st is access to a usenet to connect to, and 2nd is a service that knows how to crawl and search the 1st to find what you’re looking for.

          I could be wrong about that, but that’s how understand it, and have yet to have issues with my setup.
